DBWI: What if George W. Bush was elected in 2000?

In the 2000 Presidential Election in the U.S.A., Al Gore was nominated by the Democrats with no opposition, while Senator John McCain, R-AZ, and Governor George W. Bush, R-TX, fought for the Republican nomination. In the end, McCain won the primaries. It seems doubtless that whoever won the Republican primaries would win the general election. What if George W. Bush won the primaries, therefore winning the presidency? How would he respond to 9/11? Would he have been re-elected in 2004? And who would have succeeded Bush? McCain, or a Democrat?
 
Bush probably will implement the ideas in his Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth of invading Iraq to prevent it from developing nukes. Now Iraq's nuked Tehran and the Second Iran-Iraq War's going on....
 
What happened on September the Eleventh? You mean 11/9- November the Ninth? Oh, the attacks on the WTC were horrible- some seventeen thousand people killed. Absolutely horrible. Well, who knows, they could've been butterflied away, I wish. Well Bush- Senator Bush since 2002 when he took over from Phil Gramm -was pushing for more government involvment in education- and advisors have told that he was looking for more government involvement overall- that might have not gone over well with the party. I don't know, but an war over 11/9 might have propelled a "wartime mentality", and we'd definitely have a Republican president. Ridge hasn't done a bad job, but I wonder who'd be pres. then.

I think the real question is whether or not Bush could have prevented the nuclear annihilation of seven American cities at the hands of Al-Queda. Would thirty million Americans be alive today with somebody other than that appeasnik Gore in the White House?

Would India and Pakistan have not destroyed each other?

Would Israel have not busted the Aswan Dam, resulting in the death of Egypt?

OOC: Well, as long as we're being totally silly here... :rolleyes:

IC: And don't forget the bio-attacks that wiped out most of the population of the west coast states....
 
OOC: Anyone else notice a progression of death?

First it was 9/11 like OTL, then it was 11/9 with 17,000 death. After that it was 7 cities and 30 million deaths. Lastly, and Dave made not of it before I did, there were bio attacks.

Detroitman, its kinda faux pas to force a change of a previous post in a DBWI, especially when the previous post is from the OP. You just have to work with what you have.
 
OOC: let's see, we've managed to wipe out NYC and the west coast, how do we kill off the rest of the east coast and the interior? And make it Gore's fault?

Let's not forget that Bush, unlike Gore, would have invested heavily in space defense, and would have been able to blow up the asteroid that crashed into Illinois on June 19, 2004, laying waste to the entire Upper Midwest. Beside the initial death toll of 56 million, the resulting dust cloud caused massive crop failures throughout the US, Canada and Europe to a lesser extent, causing a further estimated 120 million deaths.
 
Finally Bush would not have let the swine-avian flu hybrid go out of control killing seven hundred million people around the globe so far. (OOC: Just make it into a humourous disaster thread.)
